"How do you feel..." a typical liberal wording

You should talk, Prager. "When we come back, I'll get your reaction to this." How about asking your guests to respond to issues? You ask them to react. I react to things, always before I think about them, but then I pause to get the rational arguments. My reactions are always based on what's familiar, what's scary, what's exciting, what's boring...

"react" when you mean "respond"
"differ" when we should "disagree"
I've listed a few others elsewhere, wish I could recall them now.

"You differ with me."

Dennis, you do a wonderful job trying to get people to think with their minds rather than with their patellar tendons. This caller you just had, trying to shred you because you went to Columbia instead of joining the armed forces, is one of those non-thinkers. Obviously he's done most of his thinking with throwing adjectives and other acts of labeling things he doesn't like as "things I don't like."

Oh, well.

But for years I've been gnashing my teeth over the way you use the language of reaction and feeling when you're trying to get people to think. A few examples,

"When we come back I'll take your reactions to this." It should be replies or answers. People who "react" aren't thinking.

"I'd like to get your feelings on this issue." Sure, feelings are okay, but I'd rather hear their "responses".

"We differ on this." No, we disagree on this.
